Net usage meters stopped working, not sure when, but still work on other programs (sysmetrix etc) ?

from WinCustomize Forums
Hi there

On Desktopx (all themes and objects) the net usage (in and out) does not show anymore... all the drive and CPU ones work fine but the net ones don't do anything now. Any ideas why?

I have windows firewall and a physical one in the form of a wireless router. (but have always had this when it WAS working)

Thanks in advance

Darren.

Just found this thread. Exactly my problem, too. My Sysmetrix Configuration interface shows two IP addresses to choose from: one is loopback, and the other is my DSL router/wireless gateway. Neither will show any activity on any of scores of Sysmetrix skins. I'm using V.3.4.0 from Xymantix' site. It USED to work 'til recently...now no TCP/IP IN or OUT. I miss this feature. I used it a lot. Have sent email to N. Decker today, and hope to hear back. I can see LEDs flickering on my DSL gateway, but Sysmetrix no joy...!? The rest of the themes work just fine. One of my favorite enhancements. Oh, yes, am using McAfee personal Firewall with WIN XP f'wall disabled; it's free with my DSL acct.

Still wondering about net-usage meters inop. Ran net-usage widget from tiggs(THANKS!)and it works fine. Still no joy from any sysmetrix, tho... Can live w/o it, but is a nice part of sysm. that I miss, so will be happy to get it back
